Is it a flock of whales?

oops, realized too late that it's a pod of whales, but here's another question...
I am arriving in Loreto Friday afternoon, that's this Friday and I am looking for some info concerning whale watching trips.

Someone responded to my earlier post that there is a place near the mission in Loreto where I can hopefully hook up with a guide for seeking out the gray whale. Anyone have anymore specific info? I want to go the day after I arrive, as my pre-arranged trip starts the followiing day, hence a tiny window of opportunity.

I know I'll want to catch a ride to the Pacific side of the peninsula to truly experience the whales. I know it's a long trip over less than perfect roads, but that's what vacations are for in my book.

Anyone know when the whale watching booth that someone mentioned near the Mission is open? Know if it exists, or what?

I tried to contact the Hotel I'll be staying in, but no luck as they have changed hands fairly recently I guess. I'll try again, but any help you all might offer would be much appreciated.

Oh, and one more question, which is the best beer in Baja? Does it come in flocks?

But Andy...a flock of crows is called a Murder. Beware a large group of married crows!

Litza...look for a pod of Ballenas. (Pacificos grandes)

Check with 'Ra - fi - el' (sorry can't spell worth %#^) at the "Dolphin Dive Center" (I don't have any of my maps around at the this time ) it's about a half block back from the Malicon(sp?) on the third? street north from the main st. and on the left heading west (as I remember it is either bright blue or yellow with palapa roof) If he is busy--(he leads dive trips, kyack(sp?) trips, ect.) he will probable tell you where you could find what you want. There is an other dive shop that does more 'eco' tours located 1 long block south of the main traffic light at the center of town ('light' south of bank corner) right side traveling south and close across the street is 'PAM's Fly Fishing'head quarters. I don't know how much whale traffic they get in the Loreto area, mostly tourist whales would be my guess.
